Nice high-class resort with reasonable restaurant and swimming pool. Shame they have now introduced a daily visitors' fee but it's worth it. There is a free ferry to the island from behind the casino.

 

Have a nice day!

It is worth the entry fee, as you get a voucher for food and drinks to the price you pay.

We usually swim & snorkel, then walk up the hill to the pool and restaurant area.

The food & Wi-Fi are very good.

Highly recommend it.

 

Cheers

When I visited about two years ago your ferry fee gives you access to the resort kayaks as well as a voucher for food and drinks. The beaches are pretty basic. The beaches around Hideaway Island which has the underwater post office are a lot nicer. It is only 15 minutes out of town. There is a beach bar there as well which sells basic burgers etc and cold beverages. There are heaps of shuttle buses running from the port, basically every van in town turns into a taxi on cruise days :)

We were there last week. Bought some duty free alcohol in the morning, walked to the ferry along the waterfront (except for the last bit where you have to deviate back onto the street). Not a bad way of spending the day - had lunch, went for a snorkel and read our books.

Snorkeling area is pleasant enough with shack with free snorkeling gear and toilets. Beach is very ordinary with exposed rock and dead coral that is a bit difficult at low tide. Not much to see coral wise with a few better bits 50 metres out. I think last years cyclone caused some damage.

The guy in the beach shack organised a water taxi direct to the cruise terminal - $5 each.

 

I'd probably go to one of the other small islands with a better beach next time.
